History
Conrad was raised in a city that was just as much hustle and bustle as King's city. He had his own set of friends and enemies, people he was sad to leave and people who were glad to see him go. His parents let him finish his second to last year in junior high before moving somewhere better.
Conrad moved to King's City a year before he started school at Tidal Heights Academy for boys. His mother and father felt that their old home wasn't quite up to their standards, and with the new baby and a growing son, they decided to make this move. It isn't like they haven't been to King's city before. They've visited some friends and kept in touch with various neighbors who also moved here.
His parents decided to send him to Tidal Heights because of the prestigious reputation and the scholarship Conrad received. The boy had no real intention to go, but they needed the room for his little brother so he didn't protest. They live clear across town and he tries to see them every so often so that they don't miss him too much.
